Indeed, the most critical long-term factor that should be considered when choosing a foundation waterproofing contractor is the warranty issuance and what that may mean in the long term.

In the last five years, we have noticed that everyone with a pickup truck, rubber boots, and a shovel is now a basement waterproofer. This trend comes and goes every few years. Coupled with misdiagnosis, improper repair and materials approach, and poor quality workmanship, the individual who pays most for this unrelenting market saturation is you, the customer.

Every year, Google becomes populated with a plethora of contractors and “family-run businesses”, all of which have been waterproofing for a century while carrying 100-year warranties, and so on. Let’s face it: you get what you pay for. Complex waterproofing and drainage considerations coupled with a high degree of difficulty and slim margins for error usually drive these contractors out of business quickly. The result? They close their doors and shut off their phones, leaving their warranty void and the customer stranded. Beware of empty, long-term warranty promises and fly-by-night contractors.

Waterproofing and drainage considerations throughout the province haven’t changed in decades (albeit more is now required). Still, nearly every trade show we attend is full of new products, materials, and techniques for cheap and quick waterproofing and structural repairs. Trust us, if there were an easier way aside from complete excavation to establish a genuine, lasting warranty, we would know about it!

The residential waterproofing industry has quadrupled in product scope and size throughout the last ten years. Even big-box stores now carry plastic sump pumps and low-quality rubberized membranes. Remember, in this overly saturated industry, you purchase peace of mind through a dependable, long-lasting, guaranteed warranty process.

But don’t take our word for it; check out our online reviews to see what our customers have to say!
